Bruised BBC to put Iraq row behind it

From Reuters

"It is a template for strengthening BBC journalism," new director-general Mark Thompson said of the recommendations contained in the Neil Report commissioned after judge Lord Hutton's criticism. All would be implemented immediately.[...]

Recommendations in the Neil Report, led by a former BBC executive, include general points like renewed emphasis on core values of accuracy, serving public interest, impartiality, independence and accountability.

Well, as I pointed out in this earlier post, it doesn't look like much has changed at the BBC.

I guess just like Clinton, for the BBC it depends on the definition of "immediately" and "impartiality".
